NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except for share and per share data)

Note 1: NATURE OF OPERATIONS

4Front Ventures Corp. (“4Front” or the “Company”) exists pursuant to the provisions of the British Columbia Corporations Act. The Company operates the business through two segments: THC Cannabis and CBD Wellness. As of March 31, 2024, the Company's THC Cannabis segment consists of five dispensaries and four production and cultivation facilities across Illinois and Massachusetts. Also, as part of its THC Cannabis segment, the Company leases real estate, sells equipment and supplies, and licenses intellectual property to cannabis producers in the state of Washington. The Company’s CBD Wellness segment sells non-THC hemp derived products across the United States.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of 4Front and all entities in which the Company either has a controlling voting interest or is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The Company has prepared these statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and U.S. GAAP. Certain information related to the organization, significant accounting policies, and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed, or omitted.

In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise noted below. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results you can expect for a full year. These financials should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Going Concern

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash of $2.9 million and working capital deficit of $76.3 million. The Company incurred net losses from continuing operations of $18.3 million and $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The conditions described above raise substantial doubt with respect to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations for at least one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements, and therefore, to continue as a going concern.

The Company plans to continue to fund its operations through cash generated from sales and is deploying its capital reserves to acquire and develop assets capable of producing additional revenues and earnings over both the immediate and near term. Capital reserves are being utilized for capital expenditures and improvements in existing facilities, product development and marketing, as well as customer, supplier and investor and industry relations. The Company has raised capital as needed, however there is no guarantee the Company will be able to continue to raise funds in the same manner it has historically.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. These reclassifications did not affect net loss, revenues and stockholders’ equity.

Under ASC Subtopic 205-20, “Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations” (“ASC Subtopic 205-20”), a component of an entity that is classified as discontinued operations is presented separately from continuing operations in the consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. All assets and liabilities related to such discontinued operations are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented. Accordingly, the presentation of prior period balances may not agree to prior issued financial statements. See Note 17 for further information on discontinued operations.

Management's Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and revenue and expenses. We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most critical and subjective areas are discussed in detail in the notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no changes to the Company's accounting policies since the Annual Report.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, "Fair Value Measurements - Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (Topic 820)". ASU 2022-03 clarifies that a contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. It also clarifies that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the standard on January 1, 2024 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, “Leases (Topic 842) – Common Control Arrangements”, which require that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset. It also requires such leasehold improvements to be accounted for as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to entity if, and when, the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. ASU 2023-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the standard on January 1, 2024 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In July 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-03, “Presentation of Financial Statement (Topic 205), Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (Topic 480), Equity (Topic 505), and Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”, to amend various SEC paragraphs in the Accounting Standards Codification to reflect the issuance of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 120, among other things. The ASU does not provide any new guidance so there is no transition or effective date associated with it. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2023-03 on the consolidated financial statements.

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, "Disclosure Improvements," which incorporates certain existing or incremental disclosures and presentation requirements of SEC Regulations S-X and S-K into the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). ASU 2023-06 is effective for the Company as of the effective date to remove the existing disclosure requirement from Regulations S-X and S-K. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2023-06 on the consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which requires that a public entity provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods, including those that have a single reportable segment. It also requires all public entities, including those with a single reportable segment, to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items for each reportable segment. In addition, the ASU requires entities to disclose information about the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures.

(Amounts expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars except for share and per share data)

For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07 on the consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures," which requires public business entities to disclose additional information in specified categories with respect to the reconciliation of the effective tax rate to the statutory rate (the rate reconciliation) for federal, state, and foreign income taxes. It also requires greater detail about individual reconciling items in the rate reconciliation to the extent the impact of those items exceeds a specified threshold. In addition, the ASU requires information pertaining to taxes paid (net of refunds received) to be disaggregated for federal, state, and foreign taxes and further disaggregated for specific jurisdictions to the extent the related amounts exceed a quantitative threshold. For public business entities, the ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2023-09 on the consolidated financial statements.

Adjustment to Acquisitions	—
Impairment	—
Balance, March 31, 2024	$	41,807

Impairment of Intangible Assets and Goodwill

Goodwill as of March 31, 2024 is related to the THC Cannabis segment in which there is no accumulated impairment within this segment. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all goodwill and intangibles are attributable to the THC Cannabis segment.

Goodwill and infinite lived assets are assessed on an annual basis for impairment, or more frequently, if circumstances indicate an impairment to the carrying value may have occurred. As of March 31, 2024, the Company believes the carrying amounts of the long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets (licenses), are recoverable and there were no events or circumstances that indicated impairment. However, if adverse events were to occur or circumstances were to change indicating the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable, the assets would be reviewed for impairment.

Refer to Note 17 for discussion of intangible assets and goodwill related to the Company's operations in California classified as discontinued operations.

Note 5: ASSET ACQUISITIONS

Euphoria, LLC

On March 27, 2023, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the issued and outstanding equity interests in Euphoria, LLC ("Euphoria") for a total purchase price of $4.5 million to be paid in cash, promissory notes, and Class A Subordinate Voting Shares.

Note 7: DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

In connection with the amendment of the senior secured debt with LI Lending LLC in July 2023, the Company issued warrants to purchase a variable number of Subordinate Voting Shares on August 10, 2023 wherein each warrant shall be exercisable into one (1) Subordinate Voting Share at an exercise price of $0.17 through May 1, 2026. If 4Front obtains a bona fide offer from a third party to refinance the loan within six months from the amendment date, the lender will have the option to match the proposed terms of the offer or keep the loan in force; upon exercise of either option, the lender's warrant coverage will be reduced from 33% to 30% of the loan balance divided by the exercise price as of the current maturity date. If 4Front obtains permitted secured debt senior to the loan up to $8.0 million, 75% of the warrants will become exercisable by cashless exercise. If 4Front obtains permitted secured debt senior to the loan in excess of $8.0 million (up to the $10.0 million maximum), 100% of the warrants will become exercisable by cashless exercise. The warrants met the criteria in ASC 480 due to the variability of the number of issuable shares, and are therefore classified as liabilities at fair value with changes being reported through the statement of operations. See Note 9 for further information on the July 2023 amendment.

In connection with the Second Amendment to the loan agreement with LI Lending on January 29, 2024, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 36,702,127 shares of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at a price of C$0.14. These warrants were determined to be a derivative liability under ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recorded an initial value of $2.6 million as a derivative liability on the date of grant.

The fair value of the warrants classified as liabilities was determined using the Black-Scholes simulation model based on Level 3 inputs on the fair value hierarchy. The following weighted average assumptions were used for the periods presented:

	Issuance Date			March 31, 2024
Share Price	$	0.10		$	0.11
Exercise Price	$	0.15		$	0.17
Expected Life	2.6 years			2.1 years
Annualized Volatility	89.8		%	106.4		%
Risk-Free Annual Interest Rate	4.4		%	4.6		%

In connection with the senior secured credit facility, the Company entered into a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) agreement (the “RSU Agreement”) dated November 13, 2023 wherein the Company granted 15,900,000 RSUs to the lender. Each RSU represents an unsecured promise to issue one Class A Subordinate Voting Share upon the earliest of certain distribution events at a price of CAD$0.31. If at the time of the distribution event, the number of SVS underlying the RSUs is less than 2.12% of the fully diluted SVS of the Company, an additional number of RSUs will be issuable to the lender at the closing market price on the Canadian Securities Exchange on the trading day prior to issuance. The additional RSUs met the criteria in ASC 480 due to the variability of the number of issuable shares, and are therefore classified as liabilities at fair value with changes being reported through the statement of operations. The fair value of the RSUs classified as liabilities was determined using the Company's share price which is considered a Level 1 input on the fair value hierarchy.

On January 29, 2024, the Company entered into a RSU agreement with LI Lending, LLC providing that, in the event of a financing by the Company at less than C$0.125 per share of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, LI Lending, LLC shall be entitled to receive a number of shares necessary to restore it to 18.43% of the voting interests of the Company. The RSUs met the criteria in ASC 480 due to the variability of the number of issuable shares, and are therefore classified as liabilities at fair value with changes being reported through the statement of operations. As of the issuance date and March 31, 2024, the fair value of the RSUs classified as liabilities was determined to be nil.

LI Lending LLC

On May 10, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with LI Lending LLC, a related party, for $50.0 million, of which $45.0 million was drawn as of March 31, 2024 in two amounts: (i) $35.0 million bearing interest at a rate of 10.25% and (ii) $10.0 million bear interest at a rate of 12.25%. The loan matures on May 10, 2024 upon which the Company shall pay an exit fee of 20% of the remaining principal balance.

In April 2020, the loan was amended to release certain assets previously held as collateral and to make principal prepayments totaling $2.0 million applied to the initial $35.0 million amount, decreasing the principal balance to $33.0 million. In December 2020, the loan was amended to increase the interest rate by 2.5% of which payments of the incremental interest were paid-in-kind until January 1, 2022. The Company was still required to make interest-only payments monthly of 10.25% on the initial $33.0 million and 12.25% on the final $10.0 million of the loan until January 1, 2022, when monthly interest rates were increased to 12.75% for the initial $33.0 million and 14.75% for the final $10.0 million for the remaining term.

In July 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the loan agreement with LI Lending LLC to extend the maturity date of the related party loan to May 1, 2026, to reduce the interest rate to 12.0% per annum beginning May 1, 2024, and to expand the amount of third-party financings allowed under the loan agreement. In addition, the exit fee of $9.0 million was removed and deferred interest in the amount of $9.2 million shall be added to the principal of the promissory note on May 1, 2024, for a total payable at maturity of $51.7 million. As compensation for the amendment, the Company shall pay an extension fee of $0.5 million payable in cash on May 1, 2024. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase a variable number of Subordinate Voting Shares on August 10, 2023 wherein each warrant shall be exercisable into one (1) Subordinate Voting Share at an exercise price of $0.17 through May 1, 2026.

Note 13: INCOME TAXES

The following table summarizes the Company's income tax expense:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Net loss from continuing operations before income taxes	$	(18,348)	$	(4,744)
Income tax benefit (expense)	$	—	$	(3,066)

The Company has computed its provision for income taxes under the discrete method which treats the year-to-date period as if it were the annual period and determines the income tax expense or benefit on that basis. The discrete method is applied when application of the estimated annual effective tax rate is impractical because it is not possible to reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate. At this time, there is a high degree of uncertainty in estimating the Company’s annual pre-tax income and significant non-deductible expenses so the Company cannot reliably estimate the annual effective tax rate.

Due to its cannabis operations, the Company is subject to the limitations of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 280E under which the Company is only allowed to deduct expenses directly related to sales of product. This results in permanent differences between ordinary and necessary business expenses deemed non-allowable under IRC Section 280E. Therefore, the effective tax rate can be highly variable and may not necessarily correlate with pre-tax income and provides for effective tax rates that are well in excess of statutory tax rates.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions and is subject to examination of its income tax returns by tax authorities in these jurisdictions who may challenge any item on these returns. The corporate statute of limitations for these jurisdictions remains open for the 2019 tax year to the present. Prior to July 31, 2019, the Company was treated as a partnership for income tax purposes and tax income and losses generated from operations were passed through to the Company’s individual members.

See Note 7 for further information regarding the fair value of the RSUs.

Note 15: CONTINGENCIES

(a)    Cannabis Industry

While marijuana is legal under the laws of several U.S. states (with varying restrictions), the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act classifies all “marijuana” as a Schedule I drug, whether for medical or recreational use. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. As such, there is an inherent risk related to the federal government’s position on cannabis. There is additional risk associated with the Company’s business in cannabis that third-party service providers could suspend or withdraw services and regulatory bodies could impose certain restrictions on the issuer’s ability to operate in the U.S. As of March 31, 2024, Company has not estimated a potential liability related to the possible enforcement of laws against the medical cannabis industry.

(b)    Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may be involved in certain disputes arising in the ordinary course of business. Such disputes, taken in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. There are also no proceedings in which any of the Company’s directors, officers, or affiliates is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the Company’s interest.

On May 9, 2023, Florival LLC (“Florival”) sued the Company in the California Superior Court for the County of Santa Cruz. The lawsuit alleged the Company had breached an agreement with Florival under which Company subsidiary Island Global Holdings, Inc. (“Island”) agreed to purchase the membership interests of licensed cannabis cultivator Gold Coast Gardens, LLC. Florival claimed damages of $0.85 million. The Company denied it had any direct liability under the agreement, which was executed two years before the Company’s acquisition of Island and asserted an unclean hands defense on behalf of both the Company and Island based on Florival’s inequitable conduct during the litigation. On November 7, 2023, the court entered summary judgment against the Company and Island. The Company and Island have appealed the decision. Management has accrued $0.85 million related to this matter as of March 31, 2024.

On September 29, 2023, Teichman Enterprises, Inc. sued 4Front CA and the Company in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles.

Note 16: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The fair value of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates carrying value due to their short-term nature. The Company’s lease receivables, convertible notes payable, and notes payable approximate fair value due to the instruments bearing market rates of interest. These measurements were identified as Level 1 measurements, due to the proximity of fair value to carrying values. The fair value of stock options granted were estimated based on a Black-Scholes model. The estimated fair value of the derivative liabilities, which represent warrants classified as liabilities, represent Level 3 measurements.

There were no transfers between fair value levels for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023.

(a)    Financial Risk Management

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instruments related risks. The Company's board of directors mitigate these risks by assessing, monitoring and approving the Company’s risk management processes.

(b)    Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss associated with counterparty’s inability to fulfill its payment obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, accounts receivable, lease receivables, and other receivables. The risk to cash deposits is mitigated by holding these instruments with regulated financial institutions. Accounts receivable, lease receivables, and other receivables credit risk arises from the possibility that principal and interest due may become uncollectible. The Company mitigates this risk by managing and monitoring the underlying business relationships.

The Company maintains cash with federally insured financial institutions. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company exceeded federally insured limits by $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The Company has historically not experienced any losses in such accounts. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held an immaterial amount of cash in a Canadian account that is denominated in C$.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the maximum credit exposure related to the carrying amounts of accounts receivable, other receivable, and lease receivables was $12.3 million and $12.4 million, respectively.

(c)    Liquidity Risk

The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to raise sufficient capital to settle obligations and liabilities when due. The Company has raised capital as needed, however there is no guarantee the company will be able to continue to raise funds in the same manor it has historically.

(d)    Foreign Exchange Risk

The Company is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations between United States and Canadian dollars. The Company’s share price is denominated in Canadian dollars. If the Canadian dollar declines against the United States dollar, the United States dollar amounts available to fund the Company through the exercise of stock options or warrants will be reduced. The Company also has bank accounts with immaterial balances in Canadian dollars. The value of these bank balances if converted to U.S. dollars will fluctuate. While the Company maintains a head office in Canada where it incurs expenses primarily denominated in Canadian dollars, such expenses are a small portion of overall expenses incurred by the Company. The Company does not have a practice of trading derivatives and does not engage in “natural hedging” for funds held in Canada.

Note 17: DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

During the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company ceased its cultivation and production operations in the state of California (together, the "California operations") as reported under the THC Cannabis segment. The Company concluded that the abandonment of its California operations represented a strategic shift and thus all assets and liabilities to the operations within the state of California were classified as discontinued operations. Long-lived assets related to the California operations ceased to be used as of September 30, 2023 and thus considered disposed of other than by sale as of September 30, 2023. The assets associated with the California operations were measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company does not have significant continuing involvement with the California operations outside of the contract liabilities of $2.3 million and the litigation matters disclosed in Note 15.

Revenue and expenses, gains or losses relating to the discontinuation of California operations were eliminated from profit or loss from the Company’s continuing operations and are shown as a single line item in the consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.

Overview

4Front Ventures Corp. ("4Front", the "Company", "we" or "our") has two primary operating segments: THC Cannabis and CBD Wellness. With regard to its THC Cannabis segment, the Company operates five dispensaries and four production and cultivation facilities in Massachusetts and Illinois as of March 31, 2024. The Company's five "MISSION" branded dispensaries are located in: Brookline, MA; Georgetown, MA; Worcester, MA; South Shore (Chicago), IL; and Calumet City, IL. The Company's four cultivation and production assets are detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

4Front’s operations are strategically situated in key geographic locations across its major markets to allow the Company to efficiently scale its operations, and competitively position it to take advantage of future growth opportunities as cannabis legalization efforts continue across the U.S. Management intends to continue scaling its operations in Illinois and Massachusetts to further increase its market share. The Company has made significant investments in manufacturing and production facilities in each of these markets. The Company remains focused on scaling and driving operational effectiveness throughout its portfolio, in addition to developing trusted brands and products to continue to grow revenue, build customer loyalty, and increase market share.

As part of its THC Cannabis segment, the Company also eases real estate, sells equipment and supplies, and licenses intellectual property to cannabis producers in the state of Washington.

25

The Company’s CBD Wellness segment is focused upon its ownership and operation of its wholly owned subsidiary, Pure Ratios Holdings, Inc. (“Pure Ratios”), a CBD-focused wellness company that sells non-THC products throughout the United States.

While marijuana is legal under the laws of several U.S. states (with varying restrictions), the United States Federal Controlled Substances Act classifies all “marijuana” as a Schedule I drug, whether for medical or recreational use. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision.

Recent Developments

Amendment of Senior Secured Debt

On January 29, 2024, the Company agreed with LI Lending, LLC to convert $23.0 million of the senior secured debt into 244,680,852 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares and issued LI Lending, LLC a warrant to purchase 36,702,127 shares of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares at a price of C$0.14. In addition, the Company issued LI Lending, LLC a restricted stock unit agreement providing that, in the event of a financing by the Company at less than C$0.125 per share of Class A Subordinate Voting Shares, LI Lending, LLC shall be entitled to receive a number of shares necessary to restore it to 18.43% of the voting interests of the Company. Refer to Note 9 of the financial statements for further information.

Critical Accounting Policies and use of Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Critical accounting policies and estimates are identified and discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024. Although we believe our estimates and judgments are reasonable, they are based upon information available at the time the judgment or estimate is made. Actual results may differ significantly from estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Revenue from Sale of Goods

Revenue from sale of goods related to continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $16.9 million, representing a decrease of $6.4 million or 27% when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Refer to the segment discussion below for specific revenue drivers.

Real Estate Income

Real estate income from leasing cannabis production facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $1.9 million, versus $2.9 million recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease of $1.0 million was largely attributable to lower sales revenue from the Washington tenant.

Total revenue from continuing operations in the reportable segments from which we operate were as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,				Change
	2024		2023		$		%
THC Cannabis	$	18,657	$	26,063	$	(7,406)	28%
CBD Wellness	185		216		(31)		15%
Total Net Revenues	$	18,842	$	26,279	$	(7,437)	28%

27

Net revenues for the THC cannabis segment were $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, representing a decrease of $7.4 million or 28% when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Net revenues decreased in Illinois by 12% and Massachusetts by 35%. The decrease was primarily attributed to price compression in Illinois, as well as lower volumes experienced in Massachusetts due to higher competition and lower than expected yields. Net revenues for the CBD wellness segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were relatively consistent with the prior year.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $11.3 million, resulting in a decrease of $1.4 million or 11% when compared to $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease of 11% in cost of goods sold was not directly correlated with the 27% decrease in revenue from the sale of goods as the Company was not able to pass through increased operating costs, such as labor, utilities, and purchased material, due to strong price competition in its respective markets.

Gross Profit

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024, was $7.6 million or 40% of revenue, compared to $13.6 million or 52% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was primarily due to the decrease in revenue outpacing the decrease in cost of goods sold as described above.

Total Operating Expenses

Operating expenses consist of selling, general and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization. Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $12.3 million, representing a decrease of $2.7 million or 18%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to a $2.5 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses. Specifically, the Company saw a decrease in rent and lease related expenses of $1.1 million, salaries and benefits of $1.0 million, and advertising and promotions of $0.3 million. Refer to Note 19 of the Consolidated Financial Statements includes further detail on selling, general and administrative expenses.

Total Other Expense, net

Other expense consists primarily of interest expense, change in fair value of derivative liability, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, and other expenses. Total other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $13.6 million, compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $10.3 million was primarily due to a loss on extinguishment of debt of $11.8 million from the conversion of $23.0 million of the senior secured debt into 244,680,852 Class A Subordinate Voting Shares. Interest expense decreased $0.7 million from prior year as a result of the debt amendments during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2023. In addition, the Company recognized a gain of $0.8 million in changes in fair value of derivative liability for the three months ended March 31, 2024, versus no such transactions in the prior year.

Net Loss

Net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $18.3 million, compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in net loss from continuing operations of $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to the loss on extinguishment of debt resulting from the January 2024 amendment and conversion of the senior secured debt with LI Lending, LLC.

Non-GAAP Financial and Performance Measures

In addition to providing financial measurements based on GAAP, we provide additional financial metrics that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to GAAP financial measures, to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for financial and operational decision making, for planning and forecasting purposes and to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. Management uses the non-GAAP measurement of adjusted EBITDA, which we believe reflects our ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful comparisons and analysis of trends in the business, as it facilitates comparing financial results across accounting periods. We also believe this non-GAAP financial measure enables investors to evaluate the Company’s operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. This non-GAAP financial measures may also exclude expenses and gains that may be unusual in nature, infrequent or not reflective of the Company’s ongoing operating results. As there are no standardized methods of calculating non-GAAP measures, our methods may differ from those used by others, and accordingly, the use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others. Accordingly, non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure that is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by the Company as detailed below. This measure provides investors with additional useful information to measure the Company’s financial performance, particularly with respect to changes in performance from period to period. The Company’s management uses Adjusted EBITDA (a) as a measure of operating performance, (b) for planning and forecasting in future periods, and (c) in communications with the Company’s board of directors concerning the Company’s financial performance.

The Company’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to different methods of calculation and should not be used by investors as a substitute or alternative to net income or any measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Instead, management believes Adjusted EBITDA should be used to supplement the Company’s financial measures derived in accordance with U.S. GAAP to provide a more complete understanding of the trends affecting the business.

Although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and investors should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for, or more meaningful than, amounts determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of the limitations to using non-GAAP measures as an analytical tool are (a) they do not reflect the Company’s interest income and expense, or the requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the Company’s debt, (b) they do not reflect future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, and (c) although depreciation and amortization charges are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and non-GAAP measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

The prior year reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA has been adjusted for consistency with current year presentation. These adjustments did not affect net loss, revenues and stockholders’ equity.

29

The following table reconciles Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Net loss (GAAP)	$	(18,453)	$	(11,392)
Less: Net loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes	105		3,582
Net loss from continuing operations	(18,348)		(7,810)
Adjusted for:
Interest income	(5)		(14)
Interest expense (1)	6,745		7,361
Income tax expense	—		3,066
Depreciation and amortization (2)	2,082		2,276
EBITDA (Loss) Income from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP)	$	(9,526)	$	4,879
Share-based compensation (3)	1,008		1,020
Change in fair value of derivative liability	(763)		—
Loss on extinguishment of debt	11,752		—
Loss on disposal and lease termination	5		—
Adjusted EBITDA (Loss) Income from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP)	$	2,476	$	5,899

(1) For the current period, interest expense includes interest related to leases of $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Prior year amounts of $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. Non-cash interest expense related to leases was previously presented as a reconciling item from EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP).

(2) For the current period, depreciation and amortization expense includes amortization related to leases of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Prior year amounts of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. Non-cash amortization expense related to leases was previously presented as a reconciling item from EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP) to Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations (Non-GAAP).

(3) Although share-based compensation is an important component of employee and executive compensation, determining the fair value of share-based compensation involves a high degree of judgment and as a result the Company excludes share-based compensation from Adjusted EBITDA because its believes that the expense recorded may bear little resemblance to the actual value realized upon future exercise or termination of any related share-based compensation award.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, Net Loss. There are a number of limitations related to the use of Adjusted EBITDA as compared to Net Loss, the closest comparable GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Company, excludes from Net Loss:

•Interest income and expense, including interest expense related to leases;

•Current income tax expense;

•Non-cash depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of leases;

•Non-cash share-based compensation expense;

•Non-cash changes in fair value of derivative liability;

•Loss on extinguishment of debt; and

•Loss on disposal of assets and lease terminations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had total current liabilities of $109.2 million and $104.0 million, respectively, and current assets of $32.9 million and $33.9 million, respectively, to meet our current obligations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $76.3 million compared to $70.1 million. The decline in working capital of $6.2 million was primarily driven by a decrease in cash of $0.5 million as the Company executes its retail expansion strategy and completes the build-out of the cultivation and production facility in Matteson, Illinois, which was completed in February 2024. This was coupled with an increase in accounts payable of $2.5 million.

The Company is an early-stage growth company. It is generating cash from sales and is deploying its capital reserves to acquire and develop assets capable of producing additional revenues and earnings over both the immediate and near term. Capital reserves are being utilized for capital expenditures and improvements in existing facilities, product development and marketing, as well as customer, supplier and investor and industry relations. Historically, the Company has raised capital as needed however there is no guarantee the Company will be able to continue to raise funds in the same manner it has historically.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows from discontinued operations are separately presented on the statement of cash flow for each operating, investing, and financing section of the statement. For liquidity purposes, the focus of this section is on the cash flow from continuing operations which is expected to affect future liquidity and capital resources.

Net Cash Provided by Continuing Operating Activities

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an decrease of $6.1 million as compared to net cash used in continuing operating activities of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increase in accounts payable, coupled with the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. These positive changes were the result of management's decisive action to reduce its cash burn.

Net Cash Used in Continuing Investing Activities

Net cash used in continuing investing activities was $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $1.3 million as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in purchases of property and equipment related to the completion of the Matteson facility during the fiscal first quarter of 2024 and the construction of the Norridge dispensary.

Net Cash Used in Continuing Financing Activities

Net cash used in continuing financing activities was $1.0 million for three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.2 million as compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was due to a decrease in repayments of notes payable resulting from amendments to its debt agreements during the fiscal fourth quarter of 2023 and the current period.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

We review new accounting standards as issued. Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of our previous fiscal year may be applicable to the Company, we have not identified any standards that we believe merit further discussion. We do not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024. Disclosure controls and procedures refer to controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures.

Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, within the meaning of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) Auditing Standard AS 2201, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Material Weaknesses in Internal Control

The Company did not fully design and implement effective control activities based on the criteria established in the COSO framework. The Company has identified deficiencies that constitute a material weakness, either individually or in the aggregate. This material weakness is attributable to the following factors:

• We did not have sufficient accounting staff resources to timely perform closing, review and audit related procedures during the financial close process.

Due to the existence of the above material weakness, management, including the CEO and CFO, has concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2024. This material weakness creates a possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company continues to strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and is committed to ensuring that such controls are designed and operating effectively. The Company is implementing process and control improvements to address the above material weakness as follows:

• The Company will assess sufficient resources, both in accounting staff and related technology, needed to timely perform closing and audit related procedures and align identified resources.

33

The material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting will not be considered remediated until the remediated controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. The Company is working to have the material weaknesses remediated as soon as possible. However, there is no assurance that the remediation will be fully effective. As described above, the material weakness has not been fully remediated as of the filing date of this Form 10-Q. If these remediation efforts do not prove effective and control deficiencies and material weaknesses persist or occur in the future, the accuracy and timing of the Company’s financial reporting may be materially and adversely affected.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Management recognizes that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On May 9, 2023, Florival LLC (“Florival”) sued the Company in the California Superior Court for the County of Santa Cruz. The lawsuit alleged the Company had breached an agreement with Florival under which Company subsidiary Island Global Holdings, Inc. (“Island”) agreed to purchase the membership interests of licensed cannabis cultivator Gold Coast Gardens, LLC. Florival claimed damages of $0.85 million. The Company denied it had any direct liability under the agreement, which was executed two years before the Company’s acquisition of Island and asserted an unclean hands defense on behalf of both the Company and Island based on Florival’s inequitable conduct during the litigation. On November 7, 2023, the court entered summary judgment against the Company and Island. The Company and Island have appealed the decision. Management has accrued $0.85 million related to this matter as of March 31, 2024.

On September 14, 2023, Teichman Enterprises, Inc. (“Teichman”) sued Company subsidiary 4Front California Capital Holdings, Inc. (“4Front CA”) in the California Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles. The lawsuit alleged 4Front CA had breached a lease with Teichman for 4Front CA’s facility in Commerce, California by failing to pay rent due under the lease. Teichman sought possession of the property and damages of $0.6 million. 4Front CA denied the allegations, but vacated the facility. Teichman dismissed the case in January 2024.

On September 29, 2023, Teichman Enterprises, Inc. sued 4Front CA and the Company in the Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles. The lawsuit alleged the Company had breached a lease agreement with Teichman under which the Company entered into a 10-year lease commitment ending on January 31, 2029, and that the Company breached its guarantee of the lease. Teichman has alleged total rent owed under the lease agreement is $13.4 million in addition to a license fee of $1.0 million and additional damages. Total damages sought from Teichman under the lease contracts is $15.5 million. 4Front CA and the Company denied the allegations in the compliant, and denied that Teichman was entitled to the full amount of damages claimed due to Teichman's obligation to mitigate. Based on management's review of case, the Company has accrued $2.7 million associated with this legal liability as of March 31, 2024.

Apart from the foregoing and ongoing legal proceedings, from time to time, we may be subject to various other legal proceedings and claims that are routine and incidental to our business. Although some of the legal proceedings set forth herein may result in adverse decisions or settlements, management believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
